No, this is a different CVE, as it is a different problem from the
original 09 and 10 report.
It has been given CVE-2008-0600 to address this issue (09 and 10 only
affect .23 and .24 kernels, and have been fixed.)

Hm, perhaps we should just properly check the len field instead? That's
what is being overflowed here...
